This poem was inspired by the very talented voice actors Michael Kovach and Ashley Nichols. It is inspired by the 6-year polyamorous relationship the two voice actors had that was loved by both of their fan bases. However, love can take a turn for the worst and the two announced on February 10th that they are no longer together. As a fan of their relationship, I wanted to create this mainly to help myself cope with the situation that left me heartbroken. With this, I will be taking some time off to take care of myself as well as to support Michael Kovach, as he was one of my main motivations to start writing indie animation articles on the Voyager. With that being said, the reason behind it is in the poem—I highly encourage you to respect each voice actor and not be mean. The internet is a cruel place where a controversy can light at any moment and I would not like any controversy aimed at the two. I hope you enjoy it and I will see you all soon. 

As I remember those fond memories 

Of just you and I 

I couldn’t help but smile

You danced around me 

And I danced around you

Then I knew it had to be true.

Is it just a friendship? 

Or is it something else? 

I then knew my answer

Your laughs made my day 

You helped me create success

I will always be there for you

Will you be there for me?

Side by side we walk

Through the wandering lands

Hand in hand, there’s nothing that can hold us back

We will stick through it, no matter what

Then it happened, one morning

The promise you struck that intrigued me

The idea of being with multiple people

Surely there shouldn’t be anything wrong?

Then I see you 

Dancing with someone else

Then there’s this strange feeling inside

It hurts, but then I see you

Your everlasting smile

I walk away

You are my light that I can’t forget

You are my newfound friend

Now I must depart 

Day after day

You share everything with them 

I see you less and less 

But I’m happy for you

Soon night falls

The stars dance in the sky

My dear, I found myself 

I finally understand love

But then I see you

Your loving smile disappears

And with this a heavy cloud appears over you

Is this the right thing to do? 

Why do I feel pain? 

I had so much fun with you 

I never wanted to hurt you

But now with our lives bound to love

I was hoping to stay in the shadows

Now I must say

It is time for us to depart
